Cultural Initiatives - SACEM, a partner for every type of music

Areas of intervention

SACEM cultural initiatives provide funding to help projects submitted by music professionals, with a view to promoting :

  • new musical repertoires in every different style of music
  • original creative composition
  • live performances
  • career development for talented young artists

 

The cultural initiatives program covers all types of music: pop, variety, jazz, rock, electronic, audiovisual, symphony, plus poetry.
The approach is three-pronged :

 

  1. Supporting original creative works and production
    More than 1 200 music authors, composers and publishers of contemporary pop and variety music, jazz and poetry are supported through mechanisms redistributing funds so as to foster the creation of original works and the presentation and broadcast of their works. SACEM also has a system of writing and training grants open to members.
     
  2. Supporting the presentation and broadcast of live performances
    SACEM supports major festivals programming and premiering original music (e.g. Musica, Festival d’Automne à Paris and the Printemps de Bourges), as well as concerts and performances that are national in scope and similarly innovative local initiatives. It provides assistance for small performance venues to back their efforts supporting and launching young talents. It provides subsidies for musical groups and ensembles performing contemporary repertoire, traditional music and jazz.
     
  3. Supporting training and launching young artists on professional careers
    SACEM supports schools and training bodies (e.g. Studio des Variétés, Centre Acanthes and Rencontres d’Astaffort) and awards grants to students in regional and national conservatoires. It also supports initiatives helping talented young artists develop their careers.

    A research tool is at your disposal to consult on line the operations sustained by the cultural action of the Sacem. To the program: variety, creation, promotion of all the catalogs...
     
  4. Other Sources of Assistance
    SACEM has joined forces with music information centers involved in producing and premiering new works, e.g. the contemporary music and documentation center, CDMC, and the modern music information and resource center, IRMA. SACEM also provides support for organizations preparing and premiering new works by composers in residence.


Funding can also be allocated to produce sound recordings : MFA (modern French music collection).

The film and video sector receives a very wide range of support, in particular through coproductions of documentaries and musical films, and support for festivals and professional events such as FIPA, Cinéma muet en concert (silent movies in concert), Premiers Plans d’Angers and the Rencontres de Lussas.
